ON THE MECHANISM OF DEVELOPED PARALYSES IN COLD-BLOODED ANIMALS (FROGS) IN EXPERIMENTAL BOTULISM

Abstract

The mechanism of the paralytic effect of botulinum toxin on the motor innervation of skeletal muscles was studied in frogs. It was established that paralysis of skeletal muscles begins from the injury of motor centers of the spinal cord. It was possible to reveal the affection of the peripheral neuromuscular apparatuses only after a considerable period of time following complete exclusion of the spinal nervous centers.
